This depends on how fancy you want to get with your header/exhaust design. The general max size of your piping is based on your power requirements. But if that diameter doesn't jive with your primary/secondary tube tuning for scavenging, you can build a pressure-wave termination box, so the final exhaust diameter doesn't affect the pulse scavenging.

This would be on a full-race setup though.

As for the single/dual, for me it will probably be single as I anticipate using a 4-1 merge collector or a 4-2-1 with super short secondary merge collector for my header design.
